Less than a month from the official release, the BlackBerry Z10 gets its first firmware update.
The new v.10.0.10.85 firmware is available as an OTA, weights 150MB and brings the following improvements (from the official BlackBerry blog):
3rd Party App Performance

We've improved performance for 3rd party applications, so developers can build apps that run fast and smooth for you. With this update, you might want to keep an eye out for some fresh new app launches in March, like WhatsApp.
Phone, Calendar, and Contacts

Among the top improvements and features are fixes for Gmail calendars on BlackBerry 10. You’ll also find improvements in the BlackBerry Hub for logging calls log and how conversations are handled. We've also made general improvements to importing contacts from online sources.
Camera

We've optimized the camera for better photos in low-light situations. You’ll love the difference this makes for photos where you don’t use a flash - like the Time Shift Camera feature.
Browser and Media

With more and more of you using the gorgeous screen on the BlackBerry Z10 to consume online videos and media, we've made a number of improvements to the software in the way the browser handles video playback to provide a fantastic experience.
Battery Life

The software team has included a number of battery life optimizations with over 60 battery saving improvements since launch to keep you moving. These combined improvements are designed so that you see improvements in battery life and heavy users especially should see a longer average usage per charge cycle.
The update will be pushed in stages and is already available from some carriers. If you still didn't get a notification about the new update, you can manually check by going to Settings> Software Updates> Check for Updates>
